Team of Beyond Organic creates certified organic cosmetics that is hand made and won several prestigious beauty awards in years. The thing that caught my attention at first was the fact they use a seabuckthorn which I happen to love because of its omegas, fatty acids and anti-oxidants. Not to mention all the natural glow it gives to your skin!

Beyond Organic Rejuvenating Serum is highly concentrated, so you need the smallest dab of it to cover whole face and neck area. It is suitable for every skin type and has also balancing properties for oilier or problematic skin types. It contains high concentration of rose hip oil which is high in vitamin A and is also known for being nature's own retinol. Therefore it is highly anti-aging and skin correcting. Then it also has seabuckthorn fruit and seed oils, full of anti-oxidants that protect skin from damage. The texture of this oil is soft and deep, more thicker than other liquids, so it is easy to spread on your face. Calming scent makes it perfect for night time use, but can also be comforting in the morning. The colour of this serum gives the skin natural healthy glow and velvety smooth feel without leaving skin greasy at all.

Beyond Organic Firming Eye Cream is probably my number one choice when it comes to taking care of my eye area. It is soothing, moisturising, brightening and firming, yet so delicate and natural I first thought it won't do much for me. It contains eyebright to reduce puffiness and soothe, rosehip to fight lines and rose to gently tone the eye area. Besides all that it is totally free of any fragrance or essential oils to ensure that it is gentle won't irritate the delicate and thin skin around eyes.

As you may know, my biggest problem is darkness under my eyes. After first application I did feel the soothing effect and felt my skin around my eyes almost drinking everything up from this eye cream. Afterwards I was left smoother and more nourished eye area. When it comes to combating darkness, I didn't really believe in it as Beyond Organic doesn't state anything about it when it comes to this eye cream. But I was wrong! Within a week or so I saw improvement in my eye area, it was lighter and brighter. I believe this cream improves the circulation and therefore handles any tiredness and darkness around eyes. Truly amazing results for a natural product!

In my eyes and relying on my experience with these two: extremely well done, Beyond Organic!

I haven't posted a blog post on all the things that wait testing out or writing posts on before. Until today! You have to change things up in order to keep things interesting for yourself and for readers. Endlessly pouring rain behind my window and a hot cup of tea being my trustful friend, shall we start!

I don't like hair sprays. I just don't! I know you should use them if you just spent half an hour of your valuable time to make those lovely curls or amazing blow-out, but I can't make myself to use them. Maybe it is so, because I haven't found the right one yet? All the hair sprays I have gotten previously I ended up giving away after few uses. They always make my hair dry, stiff and plastic. Not to mention my hair does what it likes to do as it has its own stubborn brains and no hair spray would stop it! I got my hands on Macadamia Natural Oil Control Hair Spray that is filled with Macadamia Oil and Omegas 3, 5 and 7. I am not completely sure about this product yet, but I can say this may be the product that restored my trust in hair sprays. Maybe because it is full of oils and really lightweight when it come to its finish. Also, keep the humidity away from your hair do and that is very needed with this weepy summer weather we have in here.

Burberry Body Gold Limited Edition Eau de Parfum is something I refuse to put down lately even though it isn't necessarily a summery scent. It has top notes of green absinthe, illuminating peach and delicate freesia. Floral heart notes include rose absolute, iris and warm sandalwood. Base notes reveal woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, amber and musk. Totally warm and comforting scent that has really powerful sensual twist to it. It is something you would wear at night or on colder months as its warmth with the sour sweetness can be too heavy for summer. As I said, I have found a true comfort out of this scent on these cold days and refuse to skip it in my morning routine.

Two products have cheered me up so much lately and even though there's not much sun out there, I still enjoy having brand new pair of sunglasses along with this sleek watch. To be exact I got to wear my sunglasses for 20 minutes yesterday when we had beautiful bright sun during temperature of 4'C that made me doubt what season it is. Just after that we got huge load of pouring rain on us and I had to put my sunglasses inside this nifty case it comes with. These are KOMONO Urkel sunglasses in Tortoise. They give an excellent protection and are so comfortable to wear as they are high quality. You know how some cheaper glasses can have a plastic feel? It is not a case with these ones, they are made with optical hinges and have metal core inside. Not to mention I love the warm dark brown colour of mine. My watch is also from KOMONO, Magnus Black Black to be exact. With its black genuine leather strap, stainless steel brushed matte metal case, quite big display, lightness and water resistance it has all the qualities a perfect watch should have for me. I love how the simplicity and sleekness go hand in hand with this one!

A true multi tasking product, Shiseido Face Color Enhancing Trio in RS1 has everything a face could need when it comes to makeup. Harmonized tones of highlighter, sculpter and blusher form the perfect combination in one compact to use all three separately or mixed together. RS1 shade has been described as 'Glamorous Bronze Luster' and that is so true. The blusher gives the right amount of colour to achieve that flushed summery look, the bronzer is perfect for warm contouring or just adding wamrht to the face. Highlighter with the warm golden undertones and finest sheen to it will give that perfect angelic goddess glow. This also has to be the first makeup compact I own that came with the brush that isn't a garbage. The brush actually is the softest ever and makes the product application effortless.

Some time ago, a clothing brand Seppälä came out with cosmetic line full of different products from body care to makeup. At first I didn't know what to expect from a clothing brand. What do they know about beauty products? To try them out myself, I got few items and started out with the body product, The Must Have Body Scrub with passionfruit & guava. First, they are pretty clever with the names of the products that are simple and not over the top, yet witty and catching. I wasn't even under the shower yet when I was amazed by the packaging of this body scrub. It is such a high quality plastic jar that comes with a reflecting silver lid you can use as a mirror. How snazzy is that? The product itself makes me probably scrub my body more often than I should. But is is okay as it is really gentle and creamy. The scent of it is what gets to me! It smells like an expensive Victoria's Secret product and has the whipped cream consistency with fine gentle beads in it. While scrubs like this can leave residue on skin (and I don't like residue on my body as long as products are truly natural), this doesn't. It washes off completely clean and will leave skin smooth and velvety! Well done, Seppälä!

While the weather is hectic and can't decide which it wants to be, warm or cold, sunny or rainy, my skin doesn't like this! And it takes everything out on me, like I could choose the right temperature for it. While my skin gets drier I always look into balancing products as I don't want to suffocate my skin with heavy creams when not needed. This Kris D'Amour Balancing Facial Treatment Oil has become handy to me when handling my skin's moods. I have used it only for couple of days, but I already see and feel improvement as my skin isn't so dry around my nose an mouth anymore. It has been formulated for oily, combination and acne prone skin so it should also sort out few break outs I have. I am especially impressed my the ingredient list it has: oils of jojoba, hazelnut, tamanu, seabuckthorn, apple seed, grape seed, juniper berry, lavender, petitgrain, patchouli and extracts of green, red and white teas. All to balance, nourish, hydrate and decongest the skin. Also in love with its comforting warm blend of scents I look forward to smelling whenever I use it.

Filorga BB-Perfect Anti-Aging Beauty Balm has been amazing to me in those two days I have used it! It covers well, better than other BB-creams I have tried and yet looks like you aren't wearing a makeup on your skin. Healthy dewy finish with the moisturising properties guaranteed! My 'radiant beige' shade adapts with my own skin tone perfectly and leaves it definitely brighter and more radiant. Feels almost like putting a good moisturiser on and getting the corrective part as a good surprise.

Garnier Ultra Doux Honey Treasures Shampoo and Conditioner are something I got sent as a gift and  otherwise probably wouldn't have these in my hands. Recently I have tried to take care of my hair with more gentler and natural products and Garnier isn't exactly pure. Also I am aware that sometimes really good hair products aren't 100% pure. A lot of times I am also guilty of choosing the ones that work well and aren't natural. With an open mind, I used these yesterday for the first time. They smell like milk and honey and are both really creamy and easy to use. No residue left into hair, really easy to wash out and totally fuzz free when it comes to using them. I actually liked them after one use and am sure to try them out for a little longer. They left my hair smooth and stronger. Not much to say about the nourishing part as I still needed to use my hair serum afterwards, but the strength of the hair is noticeable! Great for a basic hair care when you don't want to use loads of products, but still want great results.

Biosolis Self Tanning Spray is more like milk that comes out from a spray bottle. The thing I love the most about it is that is certified organic products with EcoCert and BIO labels on it. It has light yellow texture which makes it easy to apply, doesn't smell at any stage of self tanning and gives most natural tan on face and body within one use. You will look like you are slightly sun-kissed, nothing extreme and major at all! Actually it was a refreshing experience to use a product like this, you don't have to be scared of orange or weird shades and streaks. It can be made more intense and darker with re-applying the next day. Huge plus, it won't clog pores and even though I have used it once only I will get more into it and probably will notice even more benefits of it. I am happy with this product as it is hard to find an organic self-tanner that is actually good!

This post came out longer than I was prepared, but oh well! Have you got something new in your beauty stash you just got and is waiting for you to dive into it or just started to use?

This is LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic, one of their fresh face masks I recently featured in my skin care wish list and finally decided to get it. I always put the thought of getting it aside, since I have too many face masks I need to use up before. Fresh face masks also don't last forever, they have pretty short time period they are still good and therefore should be stored in the fridge. Now when I got it, I took finishing this mask as my number one skincare priority and that isn't so hard at all. I always wait impatiently to use it again and again.

This mask is full of antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E that help to protect the skin from damage. Packed with real blueberries, chamomile, calamine, rose and almond oils, it is perfect mixture for moisturising, calming and cleansing. The scent of it quite strong, yet pleasant, something fresh and sweet tied together! LUSH states that you should get four uses out of this jar, but I can't imagine what they mean I should apply it. Bury myself in it? I have used it three times every other day and have most of it still left. 

My skin looked brighter and much more plump right after first use. The calming effect took apart immediately when I applied the mask and I was truly relaxed from the crisp and smooth texture of this mask. The fact that this mask should be in the fridge, can be beneficial, it calms down any redness, blemishes, sensitivity and sun damage. After washing it off, my pores were clearer, face didn't need moisturiser immediately and skin's oiliness was balanced. Perfect boosting mask for summer time!

I will be definitely in a hunt for another LUSH fresh masks in the future. What are your favourites?

This particular cream comes from NOVExpert and is a part of Expert Radiance Program. While I love night creams, because often they are more concentrated and meant to take care of your skin while you sleep, I definitely do love a peeling nigh cream. I am a huge believer in exfoliation and even better when it is chemical yet gentle. When I first got his NOVExpert The Peeling Night Cream into my hands, I had no idea that this works that good. If I could refer to it with only one sentence it would be 'like getting a facial during you sleep'.

This night cream is based on glycolic acid and everything else is truly natural. The amount of exfoliating complex in it reaches up to 10%, besides that it has papaya extracts, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and botanical glycerine along with vitamin E. It is 100% hypoallergenic. A product like this should be a first heavy duty anti-aging product in your twenties. While it does firm skin, smooth lines and brighten up dull tired skin, it also helps to combat sun damage, pigmentation and acne. I started to use it mainly because of my acne scarring and to keep my pores clear. 

As an intensive treatment, it should be used every night for a month. Less intensive routine would be every other night for two to three months. I saw results within few nights. My skin was actually bright and shiny in the morning. This does make your skin peel a little, but it is nothing painful or major at all as it is designed to be really gentle. At first, it is actually quite common as your skin is getting used to the peeling complex in this cream. Whenever I had some flaky skin going on, I just exfoliated mechanically with the gentle exfoliant or used my Clarisonic in the morning. 

My skin has definitely gotten a lot of boost from the other skincare products I have used, but this makes everything even better. I have used this for about two months and I have felt my other serums and creams working more intensive and better while I use NOVExpert's Peeling Cream every other day as my night cream. This has been the best I have done for my skin in a while and would suggest everyone to give it a chance if possible!

As I have been really bad with being regular with my 'empties' post I decided it is easier to follow and write when I do them in smaller patches. Here are five products I managed to save from going into trash and I literally ended last month. So this post is really in order! When it comes to makeup I have no used up products to show you, but you will get more skincare and little bit hair care. 

MÁDARA Deep Moisture Gel is the one I have talked about before and just ended the second tube of it. I love it to hydrate my skin and apply under my moisturiser when I am drier. But more than ever, it is a perfect instead a moisturiser when your skin is unbalanced and isn't that dry. I always reach for it when it get warmer and even hot outside. It keep oilier areas at a bay and doesn't let skin get dry on other areas. It has such a pleasant and fresh herbal scent and liquidy consistency of this gel goes on like a much needed nectar for your face. I reviewed this and other MÁDARA products in here.

Nurme Lavender Facial Toner is meant for problematic skin, but everyone would actually benefit from it. It is 100% natural and I am absolutely in love with their facial toners. Lavender one I particularly love when I have some breakouts to calm down or at night time in general. It soothes, tones and cleans every trace of face mask or face cleaner off your skin. It comes in a spray bottle and that makes it easy to apply it before moisturising-step as a spray refreshment. The only thing I would love more than this already is, would be the bottle. It is fairly small and I go through it so fast. Also I would prefer a bottle to be without the pump as I love my toner on cotton round and whenever I spray it on cotton it gets everywhere else and that's a waste.

Caru Skincare Cucumber + Lime Organic Toner is created for normal or combination skin. It is extremely balancing and detoxifying and has much more power than any other toner I have used. When I first got it, I couldn't get over how beautiful this vintage bottle was. Chances are I am going to clean it and keep it just use it in the future when I happen to stumble on the beauty products that have a not so good packaging. The other thing was a scent of it. It is so refreshing and comforting, just like fresh cucumber salad with the twist of lime! With the combination of cucumbers and limes, it soothes an calms skin immediately, yet leaves pores so clean and small with the cleaning effects of lime. Even if it is labelled as a toner for normal to combination skin, it is so gentle, I would suggest it to everyone with the benefits of clearing up skin, boosting it and balancing its pH levels at all times.

Silver Tree Argan Oil Thairapy Ultra Hydrating Hair Mask is a huge jar full of really moisturising hair mask. I got it for a while ago from local Estonian beauty store I.L.U, when I was actually in a search of a new hair serum. I knew nothing about this brand when I picked it up, but was nicely surprised after first use. Since then it has been my must-have hair once a week hair mask and already got myself a new one. It is really thick and so moisturising yet doesn't leave hair heavy or greasy. It restores hair within few uses and you can actually feel, yourlocks are in a better condition. As just adding moisture doesn't cut it for my hair, it must also has to add some strength, because I won't struggle with the breakage anymore like I did before finding this mask. Since I have tried ever so expensive Macadamia Deep Repair Hair Mask which great, but is quite a splurge when it comes to its price. These two are really similar when it comes to hair results afterwards, but this one is so much cheaper.

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty is a face mask for problematic skin on face and back. I only used it on my face. Being deep cleansing, toning, exfoliating it takes care of your pores and blemishes you might have. I was so amazed by it at first and love the tingling sensation at first because of its natural peppermint oil, but after a while this mask made me sick. The scent got so repulsive and strong for me, I just applied it to use it up and knew it works wonders. It does really heal any blemishes and cleans up pores, but there's too much peppermint for my taste. Probably will give it a try in the far future again, but for now I will stay away from it.

If you are the one who also struggles often with sun- or windburned lips that can easily cause a nasty and painful cold sores. This is the little affordable magic in a pot. Whenever I feel I might get a col sore and my upper lip starts to itch or sting, I usually end up consuming enormous amounts of melissa tea. Which is good, of course. Because melissa tea has its own benefits and should be loved not only for that, but it is well known fact that melissa helps to boost your immune system and fight viruses.

Its base is the best local beeswax along with flax oil, safflower oil and of course the essential oils of melissa. It is 100% natural and handmade in Estonia, so imagine my surprise when I got to know that the best things don't have to come from far away. 

Lip balm itself is more solid than creamy, which is good, because humid weather can destroy easily melting products fast. This won't leave lips greasy, but applies very thin and so refreshing protective layer on them. Melissa's scent is so comforting, balmy and soothing. Within one application you can considerably reverse any damage that has already happened and go live on with your soft pout how it is actually meant to be.
